Astec Ventura Portable Asphalt Plant

This animation took me 2 months to create and render (from March to May, 2021), using VizRT/NewTek's Lightwave 3D 2019 (and Adobe After Effects 2021 for callouts and editing). The model was created from its original SolidWorks 3D CAD assembly file, exported as STL and then imported in to Lightwave, cleaned up, refined, optimized, and materials assigned. This process took 2 weeks, taking the original 10 million polygons down to 1 million. The scene makes extensive use of tens of thousands of instanced objects: trees, undergrowth, stones, resulting in upwards of over 27 billion virtual polygons (albeit not all visible by the camera at one time, since more than 2/3rds are outside of the camera's field of view).
